Developer settings are hidden by default because there are some options in there that, while reversible, can really glitch your phone if you don’t know what you’re doing. There’s no downside to enabling developer settings as long as you don’t mess with settings without knowing what they do. While your phone doesn’t need to be rooted or hacked to gain access to a spoofed GPS signal, you do need to enable “developer settings,” a hidden menu inside Android that offers a wide variety of options and customization options to choose from. Regardless of which app you choose, the actual settings to set up the app will remain the same, so you shouldn’t run into any problems. We’re using Fake GPS Location for this walkthrough, thanks to its good user rating and simplicity.

It’s sometimes impossible to tell where your data is being sent-an issue even with our recommended apps above-but you should do your best to watch your data and where it’s being shipped, sent, and stored. If you install an app that is not on the list above, we recommend that you look at user reviews before continuing. The app’s design is solid, with a more modern look than most of the apps on this list.
